Giving in to Her Rebellious Streak

Chapter 106

Giselle looked at Blake with a pitiful expression and said, "Blake, please believe me. I never had any ill intentions. It was just a passing remark, and I didn't know it would escalate like this." Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Yasmin had enough of this. She turned and left.

Blake called after her, "Not eating breakfast anymore?"

"Nope!" The sight of Giselle made her so furious that she had lost her appetite.

Yasmin walked out of the compound and tried to call an Uber.

Due to it being peak hours, many drivers were unavailable, and she didn't manage to get an Uber. As she waited, Blake's Rolls-Royce Ghost rolled up next to her.

"Get in." Blake opened the car door, still dressed in his exercise gear.

Had he come out in a hurry?

What about Giselle? Had Blake left her at Oak Garden?

Yasmin, thinking of how he had saved her last night, got in his car. "Where's Giselle? Did you abandon her at Oak Garden?"

"She said that her stomach doesn't feel good, so I asked Mary to look after her." Blake glanced at Yasmin. "Don't you know she's pregnant? Who allowed you to hit her?"

Yasmin was stunned. It turns out that Blake wanted to interrogate her about her crime.

"If anything happens to her baby, would you be able to bear the responsibility?" Blake continued.

Of course, she wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility if anything happened to a child of the Ford family.

She felt a little helpless and said coolly, "The deed has been done."

"Don't do that again," Blake said.

Yasmin hung her head low and grunted in agreement. She felt a little sad. He did care about the child.

Blake glanced at her and asked, "How are you physically? Good?"

"I'm fine." Yasmin didn't want to talk to him, so she looked at her phone.

There were a few missed calls. Some were from Eunice, and some were from Ivan. They were probably anxious because she didn't go home last night.

Yasmin sent Ivan a text message to reassure him. "Ivan, I'm fine. Rest assured that nothing happened to me."

Then she called Eunice, "Eunice, I'm fine. Don't worry."

"I know. When you didn't come back last night, Mr. Burke went to inquire about you at the hotel. The hotel staff said that Mr. Ford took you away. He didn't do anything to you, did he?"

"I'm fine." In a low voice, Yasmin summarized the happenings of last night, excluding the part where she and Blake made out.

Blake raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard her describe everything until the part where she had taken the medicine Joel brought, omitting what happened just before his arrival.

"No wonder," Eunice said.

"No wonder what?" Yasmin asked.

"I saw the news this morning that Caleb's company has been charged with corruption," Eunice said, "Did Blake do that? In that case, he's a pretty decent guy. He not only saved you, but he also punished Caleb.

"Now Caleb's company has been exposed and shut down, and Caleb's in jail. He'll be in there for at least eight to ten years."

Rendered speechless, Yasmin turned to look at Blake.

"What's up?" Blake asked coolly, sensing that Yasmin was looking at him.

"Were you responsible for Caleb's company being charged with corruption and for Caleb being behind bars?"

"That scum shouldn't be allowed out in society," Blake said calmly.

Yasmin was mildly moved by his actions.

Two years ago, Caleb had hurt her father. Now that Caleb was behind bars, she felt justice had finally been served.

"Thank you," she said to Blake.

Blake didn't say anything in return, but his lips twitched.

The roads were congested due to the rush hour. Even Blake's million-dollar luxury car was stuck in an unmoving traffic jam.
